The problem of how to bore an eight
inch hole with tool that must first pass
through six inch opening has been
solved in California, papers of that state
say. A well at Mare Island is now down
1900 feet, and the contract depth of
1900 feet viii be reached in few
weeks. In sinking this well, which is
through rock for a long distance, only one
line of easing has been used, and the APP
parently impossible undertaking of dill
ling hole larger than the pipe through
which the drill is lowered has been ac-
complished. In fact, a drill going down
through a six inch casing can drill an
eight inch hole, SO that one size OF casing
can be run from the top to the bottom of
the we'll The drill in question is simple
in principle, and in practical use has been
found to do the work expected of it,
in general terms the drill is composed
of three long pieces, the middle one of
which is movable. When about to be
lowered in the casing the middle piece is
slipped from between the two side pieces,
enabling them to come together, SO that,
for instance, they can readily go down a
six inch hole. AS soon as the end of the
casing is passed, however, the natural
spring of the sides allow the middle piece
TO resume its place, and there is formed a
solid tool with an eight inch cutting edge.

There were gaunt, lean, hungry
wretches who hung about the coaches
and snapped at every morsel of food that
was dropped from these coaches with the
avidity and voracity of hungry dogs.
There was no bone, however clean it
had been picked, that had fallen to the
ground, that was not Immediately strug.
gled for by two or three men. Ii

such abject hunger upon every side

of food to eat.
gave two boys who stood near me
The best part of my lunch, and the way
that they bolted everything that was
handed to them showed that they were
actually suffering from hunger. My at
tention was first attracted to them by
their friendship for each other. When
one would find bone or scrap he would
invariably divide it with the other. 1t
was a close partnership in mad hunt
for food. Everything that | handed
down to either one or the other was at
once scrupulously divided. 1t was the
first time | had ever been confronted
with evidence of this tremendous Eng
lish poverty which have heard so much
about among certain classes. This in
creasing and terrible poverty must ac-
count for the increasing emigration.
There was nothing, l was told by an
English gentleman present, to give a bet
ter idea of the unnatural relation OF
things in England than this very picture

Mr.. James Russell Lowell was tho
most conspicuous of Mrs. Phelps callers.
He came in about o'clock with his most
impressive manner. Mr.. Lowell is looking
quite old, and, although he tries to con-
vey the impression that he is walking in
Jaunty, easy manner, it is plain to be
seen that he does not move without an
effort After shaking hands with Mrs.
Phelps he went around the room looking
for old friends, of whom he found many.
He shakes hands in the latest English
fashion, the fashion which was intro
duced in Washington last winter by Mrs.
Helyar, the wife of one of the under
secretaries of the British legation.
This style of hand shaking, I have no
doubt, is very amusing to the one who
employs it, but it is not an agreeable
sensation to one not prepared for it. The
fingers are tightly grasped by the English
hand shaker, and at the same time he
lifts his elbow on line with his shoul-
der. He then suddenly brings your
hand close to his breast with jerk, and
then drops it SO quickly that one not
| accustomed to this violence is in danger
of losing his balance when the dead drop
follows the energetic jerk. Mr.. Lowell
has this hand shake to perfection; in
fact, l have never seen an Englishman
| who seemed to do the jerk and drop
with such suddenness and dash as does
Mr.. Lowell. l noticed, however, that
in shaking hands with the young girls
and pretty women in the room the drop
did not follow quite so soon as when
shaking hands with the old dowagers.
He appeared very self-conscious, and
when he entered the room it was
with the air of man who expected to
create a tremendous sensation. l did
not discover any great commotion, how
ever, over his arrival, although he knew
nearly every one in the room.-London
Cor. Chicago Tribune.

The Philadelphia Ledger's recapitula-
ton of its local obituary columns for the
last six months savors Of the Old Testa-
ment chapters. 1t shows that longevity,
so to speak, is not dying out in the big
town by the Delaware. The mortuary
announcements of persons who had lived
to or beyoud the advanced age of eighty
years numbered 4GG, OF whom 191 were
men and 2S5 were women. A similar
record for the first six months of 1886
contains o total of 449. The demise of
four male and four female centenarians is
recorded thus far this year. One of these
reached the age of 104 and another 1906.
How many well preserved Philadelphians
there may be who are buoyantly scaling
their twelfth or thirteenth decade does not
appear. But it is comforting to think
that the old gentleman who heard the
historic peal of the Liberty Bell is still
numerously among us. The statistics
likewise show that the Ledger has u
clientele old enough to know good
thing when they see tn. Y. World.

How a SfcepIe Climber Escaped.

One of the noted characters of Cincin-
natl, the ''steeple climber" died the other
night. His name in full was Joseph Rod
riguez Weston and nearly thirty years he
has been climbing steeples in this city.
No point was too high and dizzy for him
to reach and maintain his steady foothold.
OF late years he would undertake only
those difficult feats that appalled, others.
1t was his pardonable boast that he could
go as high or H. cher than any other man.
There are many stories of his hazardous
exploits III this city. The most notable,
probably, was the draping of the cathe-
dral spire on the night following Arch
bishop Purcell's death. On the ground
below were 5000 or 1000 people eagerly
watching for a glance at the daring man
as the lightning flashes revealed him oG
| the dizzy height.
Weston, when only IL years of age, had
placed the tip on the same steeple. An
| other feat that was talked about at the
| time was on the night of July 3, 1876.
| Weston climbed the spire of the Presby-
| terian church on Fourt& street, the tallest
| in the city, and nailed fast the stars and
| stripes, 2S5 feet from the ground. 1t was
on this occasion that he had n narrow es-
cape. Weston had obtained from Michie
the jeweler, n heavy gold chain, the links
| of which We're all solid Ills chain, when
he was falling, held him for a brief mo-
ment, during which the climber succeeded
in regaining his hold.-Cincinnati En-
| uuirer.
